OBJECTIVE To determine the usefulness of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for the automated detection of lung nodules at low-dose CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS A CAD system developed for detecting lung nodules was used to process the data provided by 50 consecutive low-dose CT scans. The results of an initial report, a second look review by two chest radiologists, and those obtained by the...

We have developed a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to detect clustered microcalcifications automatically on full-field digital mammograms (FFDMs) and a CAD system for screen-film mammograms (SFMs). The two systems used the same computer vision algorithms but their false positive (FP) classifiers were trained separately with sample images of each modality. In this study, we compared the p...

facts technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. statcom is oneof the most important facts devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper statcom is used...

“CyberCutTM” is a testbed for an Internet-based CAD/CAM system. It was specifically designed to be a networked, automated system, with a seamless communication flow from a client-side designer to a server-side machining service. The creation of CyberCut required several new software modules. These include: a) a Web-based design tool in which Design-forManufacturing information and machining rul...

Integration of circuit CAD activities into a single design framework requires that CAD data of widely diiering forms be integrated into a single design database. This results in data which is highly structured, multi-dimensional and very complex; most current database models (for example the relational model) lack the expressive power to eeciently represent such data. The authors have developed...

Timed asynchronous circuits can be implemented using commercial computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Relative timing methodology is applied for interpreting the complex timing of asynchronous circuits into CAD tools that can be understood with minimum and maximum timing constraints. Typical synchronous placement algorithm neglect timing information which is critical for asynchronous methodology. ...

Study Hypothesis Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several common variants that are associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). The authors state that the current loci discovered in CAD and MI GWAS explain only a small fraction of the heritability of this complex disease. The authors hypothesized that a larger study would ...
